Antiques : Accessories : Brass Box China Export Trade

 

Offering an antique brass, hinged box from China of the 1920's. This box measures 7" in length and 4" in width and 2 1/2" in height. The exterior is decorated with colorful enameling, glass stone flowers in red and green, and in the center of the top, an enamel relief picture of the forbidden city. The box has four feet and the interior is lined with wood. There is no structural damage and the hinge works perfectly. The brass is a bit tarnished and the enameling has some fading of the color in spots but it is all consistent with a box of this age. The word CHINA has been hot stamped into the brass bottom. I can ship this Priority Mail or Parcel Post if you wish.
